| Wes Spencer uses colored pencils and an airbrush to paint the cues. Once he's finished, Jackson Cue applies the final sealant | It's not as easy as you might think. Try painting a figure, like a howling wolf or a motorcycle rider and wrapping it around a long, skinny, tapered cylinder while maintaining proportion and perspective. It's enough to send most artists back to practicing stick figures. |
"There is nothing in this world I cannot put on a pool cue," Spencer says. On second thought, there might be a few things. He flat out rejected a suggestion by some women at a pool tournament that he paint a scantily clad -- or worse -- male to match the nearly naked lady he'd painted on another.
Each original cue painting is signed by Spencer, who promises not to duplicate any of them. Buyers get a certificate of authenticity with each cue.
